Frana's husband, Frank, said that he was just lucky to still have his wife with him after the attack.

'One of the bears stood up, knocked her
down and started to maul her,' Frank Frana told tMyFoxOrlando.com. 'The bear actually had my wife's head in its mouth and started to drag
her towards the woods.'
